Brick Custom Home in Long Grove
New construction in Long Grove. A brick two story with stacked front gables, arched windows and a three bay garage off the drive.
Brick, gables and a three bay drive
This is new construction, finished and photographed before the landscaping had grown in, so the elevation is visible with nothing softening it. The front is brick to the eaves, broken by stacked gables, with arched window heads set into the lower run and a tall entry gable centered between them.
Garage doors take up a good share of any suburban elevation, so the three bays here are split, two together and one separated, rather than lined up as one flat wall. Brick carries across all of it. That kind of decision is made on the elevation drawing, long before the first course is laid.
